INSPIREDThe Mono AestheticThe single central-seat gave our designers and project engineers the ultimate blank canvas on which to assemble their dream. The enclosed front and exposed mechanical rear typifies the unique appearance of Mono.
The design aesthetic is intended to combine sculpted, sleek, organic forms to provide an emotional, human connection juxtaposing the technical, mechanical elements of the car. Nothing embodies this look better than Bjork‘s award winning music video 'All is Full of Love' which would provide inspiration throughout the design process.

While this futuristic vision runs throughout Mono's appearance it was fundamental to our designers that form follow function on all aspects of the car. The necessity to gain access to the central driving position and adjustable dampers as well as providing clean airflow to the radiators and engine are just some of the factors on which Mono's architecture is built.
“...the BAC Mono, incredibly singular of purpose and possibly the ultimate of ‘form follows function’ automotive design.”
Charlie Turner, Editor-in-Chief, TopGear Magazine
“it’s a brilliant concept, with the kind of instinctive appeal that stops you in your tracks. The styling has a perfectly proportioned completeness that’s rare – magical even – with the kind of gut-feel rightness that Italian design studios yearn for.”

Man and MachineAs unique as it is intoxicating, Mono was designed to fulfil the entire driving experience. An object so inspirational, that just preparing to get behind the wheel is as memorable an event as driving. Whether it be the sensational grip at the apex of a corner, the way the suspension configuration provides superb handling characteristics, or the breath-taking acceleration, Mono is a truly special car.
“Never have I driven a road car that feels so connected or so clearly hard-wired into the part of the brain that deals with, and delights in, the business of driving.”

"From now on any car collection is incomplete without a Mono"
Nick Trott - Editor, EVO magazineTo the Track and BackMono is a car that has the ability to make a trip along a snaking country road as memorable as a hot lap around Brands Hatch, Silverstone or the Nürburgring. With up to 100mm of total suspension travel Mono offers exceptional compliance without compromising handling precision, making it ideal for B roads or absorbing the impact of race track kerbs. Furthermore the suspension settings are fully adjustable, allowing the driver to fine tune vehicle setup. That versatility combined with pulsating performance, state-of-the-art technology and advanced build and design all help to create a true supercar for the 21st Century.
“Mono requires a recalibration of your brain to deal with its physics-warping abilities: brake deeper, turn in later, get on the power earlier. Darting from apex to apex with joyous, weightless agility – gearchanges firing like buckshot – this is a supernaturally good track car.”
Senior Writer Sam Philip, TopGear Magazine

ServicingIn addition to delivering Supercar beating performance at a fraction of the cost, Mono provides an ownership experience that is eminently affordable. We have been careful to source components and systems from established technical partners with a proven track record, such as the Cosworth engine and Hewland gearbox.
At BAC we understand that the cost of servicing and maintaining a Supercar can often be cost prohibitive and so we have made the process as simple and inexpensive as possible.
Structured to meet the specific needs of your car, BAC recommends service interval based on its usage and the combined on road and track mileage.
The three packages – ‘First Service’, ‘Regular Service’ and ‘Comprehensive Service’ each have a schedule based on this usage, commonly referred to as low and high duty cycles.
Description Low Duty Cycle High Duty Cycle
First Service 3,000 / 6 months 1,000 / 1 monthRegular Service 6,000 / 12 months 3,000 / 6 monthsComprehensive Service 12,000 / 2 years 6,000 / 12 months
